Brian started out that way (needing the CDE login session), then 
(before posting) got wrapped around the axle over why I couldn't get 
xclock to display on my laptop.  For Pete's sake,it's _xclock_ not 
rocket science.

  I'm now dimly recalling that our DBA had a world of trouble getting 
the Exceed to work on his laptop, his workaround was to hard code his 
IP into /etc/hosts.  It sure feels like the same problem he had.  I 
suspect once I calm down and get back to it in the a.m. the problem 
will magic itself away.
